Add a new tool which summarizes packet counts by protocols, but
organizes the protocols in the same hierarchical order in which they are found in the packet. The GUI needs some more refinement (placment of vertical scrollbar, style of GtkCTree, initial sizing of window). I need to add an option to honor/not honor the current display filter. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3162

+This shows the number of packets, and the number of bytes
+in those packets, for each protocol in the trace. It
+organizes the protocols in the same hierarchy in which
+they were found in the trace. Besides counting the packets
+in which the protocol exists, a count is also made
+for packets in which the protocol is the last protocol in
+the stack. These "Last Protocol" counts show you how many packets
+(and the byte count associated with those packets) B<ended> in a particular
+protocol.
